Rev.   ALFRED    COOKMAN. 


New  fork: 

PUBLISHED  BY  CARLTON  &  PORTEE. 

TRACT  SOCIETY,  200  MDLBERRY-STREKT. 
1864. 


I 


Entered  according  to  Act  of  Congress,  in  the  year  1864,  by 

CARLTON    &   PORTER, 

in  the  Clerk's  Office  of  th%  District  Court  of  the  United  Stales 
for  the  Southern  District  of  New  York.

INTRODUCTORY  NOTE. 


This  little  volume  has  been  arranged  to 
meet  the  demand  for  a  cheap  pocket  hymn 
book  that  might  be  used  in  the  social  services 
of  the  Church.  The  effort  of  the  compiler 
has  been  to  collate  many  of  those  old  familiar 
hymns  which  by  long  and  successful  trial 
have  earned  for  themselves  a  place  in  any 
book  of  song,  and  to  associate  with  these 
some  of  the  best  of  our  popular  choruses. 

To  make  the  collection  available  for  army 
circulation  we  have  incorporated  a  few 
patriotic  songs. 

May  we  not  hope  that  this  little  hymn 
book  will  find  a  welcome  in  the  homes  and 
hearts  of  Methodists  and  other  Christians 
everywhere  ?

FAMILIAR  HYMNS. 


PRAISE. 

1  C.  M. 

Invitation  to  praise  the  Redeemer. 

OFOR  a  thousand  tongues,  to  sing 
My  great  Eedeemer's  praise ; 
The  glories  of  my  God  and  King, 
The  triumphs  of  his  grace. 

2  My  gracious  Master,  and  my  God, 
Assist  me  to  proclaim, — 

To  spread,  through'  all  the  earth  abroad, 

The  honors  of  thy  name. 
8  Jesus  ! — the  name  that  charms  our  fears, 

That  bids  our  sorrows  cease ; 
'Tis  music  in  the  sinner's  ears, 

'Tis  life,  and  health,  and  peace. 
4  He  breaks  the  power  of  cancell'd  sin, 

He  sets  the  pris'ner  free  ; 
His  blood  can  make  the  foulest  clean ; 

His  blood  avail' d  for  me. 


6  PEAISE. 

2  CM. 

Crown  Him  Lord  of  all. 

ALL  hail  the  power  of  Jesus'  naml^ 
_  Let  angels  prostrate  fall ; 
Bring  forth  the  royal  diadem. 
And  crown  him  Lord  of  all. 

2  Sinners,  whose  love  can  ne'er  forget 
The  wormwood  and  the  gall ; 

Go.  spread  your  trophies  at  his  feet, 
And  crown  him  Lord  of  all. 

3  Let  every  kindred,  every  tribe, 
On  this  terrestrial  hall, 

To  him  all  majesty  ascribe, 
And  crown  him  Lord  of  all. 

4  0  that  with  yonder  sacred  throne 
"We  at  his  feet  may  fall ; 

We'll  join  the  everlasting  song, 
And  crown  him  Lord  of  all. 

3  L.  M. 

The  Creation  invited  to  praise  God. 

FROM  all  that  dwell  below  the  skies, 
Let  the  Creator's  praise  arise ; 
Let  the  Eedeemer's  name  be  sung 
Through  every  land,  by  every  tongue. 

2  Eternal  are  thy  mercies,  Lord ; 
Eternal  truth  attends  thy  word  : 

Thy  praise  shall  sound  from  shore  to  shore, 
Till  suns  shall  rise  and  set  no  more. 

3  Your  lofty  themes,  ye  mortals,  bring; 
In  songs  of  praise  divinely  sing ; 

The  great  Salvation  loud  proclaim, 
And  shout  for  joy  the  Saviour's  name. 


m 


PKAISE.  7 

4  In  every  land  begin  the  song ; 
To  every  land  the  strains  belong : 
In  cheerful  sounds  all  voices  raise, 
And  fill  the  world  with  loudest  praise. 


4  S.  IVI. 

Meeting,  after  absence. 

AND  are  we  yet  alive, 
And  see  each  other's  face? 
Glory  and  praise  to  Jesus  give, 

For  his  redeeming  grace. 
Preserved  by  power  divine 

To  full  salvation  here, 
Again  in  Jesus'  praise  we  join, 
And  in  his  sight  appear. 

2  What  troubles  have  we  seen  I 
"What  conflicts  have  we  pass'd ! 

Fightings  without,  and  fears  within, 

Since  we  assembled  last ! 
But  out  of  all  the  Lord 

Hath  brought  us  by  his  love ; 
And  still  he  doth  his  help  afford, 

And  hides  our  life  above. 

3  Then  let  us  make  our  boast 
Of  his  redeeming  power, 

"Which  saves  us  to  the  uttermost, 

Till  we  can  sin  no  more : 
Let  us  take  up  the  cross, 

Till  we  the  crown  obtain ; 
And  gladly  reckon  all  things  loss, 

So  we  may  Jesus  gain. 


PRAISE. 

5  L.  M. 

Tribute  of  praise  to  the  Saviour.         ^^ 

JESUS,  thou  everlasting  King, 
Accept  the  tribute  which  we  bring ; 
Accept  thy  well-deserved  renown, 
And  wear  our  praises  as  thy  crown. 

2  Let  every  act  of  worship  be 
Like  our  espousals,  Lord,  to  thee: 
Like  the  blest  hour,  when  from  above 
We  first  received  the  pledge  of  love. 

3  The  gladness  of  that  happy  day, 
0  may  It  ever,  ever  stay : 

Nor  let  our  faith  forsake  its  hold, 
Nor  hope  decline,  nor  love  grow  cold. 

4  Let  every  moment,  as  it  flies, 
Increase  thy  praise,  improve  our  joys, 
Till  we  are  raised  to  sing  thy  name 
At  the  great  supper  of  the  Lamb. 

6  C.  M. 

Invitation  to  worship. 

COME,  let  us  join  our  cheerful  songs 
With  angels  round  the  throne : 
Ten  thousand  thousand  are  their  tongues, 

But  all  their  joys  are  one. 
2  Worthy  the  Lamb  that  died,  they  cry, 

To  be  exalted  thus : 
Worthy  the  Lamb,  our  hearts  reply, 

For  he  was  slain  for  us. 
8  Jesus  is  worthy  to  receive 

Honor  and  power  divine ; 
And  blessings  more  than  we  can  give, 

Be,  Lord,  forever  thine. 


PRAISE. 

4  The  whole  creation  join  in  one, 
To  bless  the  sacred  name 

Of  Him  that  sits  upon  the  throne, 
And  to  adore  the  Lamb. 


7  87,  87,  87,  87. 

Hitherto  hath  the  Lord  helped  us. 

COME,  thou  Fount  of  every  blessing, 
Tune  my  heart  to  sing  thy  grace ; 
Streams  of  mercy,  never  ceasing, 
Call  for  songs  of  loudest  praise. 
Teach  me  some  melodious  sonnet, 
Sung  by  flaming  tongues  above : 
Praise  the  mount — I'm  fix'd  upon  it ; 
Mount  of  thy  redeeming  love  ! 

2  Here  I'll  raise  mine  Ebenezer ; 
Hither  by  thy  help  I'm  come ; 

And  I  hope,  by  thy  good  pleasure,  ■ 

Safely  to  arrive  at  home. 
Jesus  sought  me  when  a  stranger, 

Wand'rmg  from  the  fold  of  God  : 
He,  to  rescue  me -from  danger, 

Interposed  his  precious  blood. 

3  O !  to  grace  how  great  a  debtor 
Daily  I'm  constrain'd  to  be  ! 

Let  thy  goodness,  like  a  fetter, 
Bind  my  wand'ring  heart  to  thee : 

Prone  to  wander,  Lord,  I  feel  it — 
Prone  to  leave  the  God  I  love ; 

Here's  my  heart,  0  take  and  seal  it — 
Seal  it  for  thy  courts  above. 


10  PRAYER. 

8  L.  M. 

Grateful  adoration. 

"OEFORE  Jehovah's  awful  throne, 

J)  Ye  nations  bow  with  sacred  joy ; 

Know  that  the  Lord  is  God  alone, — 

He  can  create,  and  he  destroy. 

2  His  sov'reign  power,  without  our  aid, 
Made  us  of  clay,  and  form'd  us  men ; 

And  when  like  wand'ring  sheep  we  stray'd, 
He  brought  us  to  his  iold  again. 

3  "We'll  crowd  thy  gates  with  thankful  songs, 
High  as  the  heavens  our  voices  raise ; 

And  earth,  with  her  ten  thousand  tongues,' 
Shall  fill  thy  courts  with  sounding  praise. 

4  "Wide  as  the  world  is  thy  command ; 
Vast  as  eternity  thy  love  ; 

Firm  as  a  rock  thy  truth  shall  stand, 
"When  rolling  years  shall  cease  to  move. 


PRAYER. 
9  L.  M. 

The  mercy -seat. 

FROM  every  stormy  wind  that  blows, 
From  every  swelling  tide  of  woes, 
There  is  a  calm,  a  sure  retreat : 
'Tis  found  beneath  the  mercy-seat. 


PRAYER.  11 

2  There  is  a  place  where  Jesus  sheds 
The  oil  of  gladness  on  our  heads ; 

A  place  than  all  besides  more  sweet, — 
It  is  the  blood-bought  mercy-seat. 

3  Ah !  whither  could  we  flee  for  aid, 
When  tempted,  desolate,  dismay'd? 
Or  how  the  hosts  of  hell  defeat, 
Had  suff'ring  saints  no  mercy-seat? 

4  There,  there  on  eagles'  wings  we  soar, 
And  sin  and  sense  molest  no  more ; 

And  Heaven  comes  down  our  souls  to  greet, 
While  glory  crowns  the  mercy-seat. 

10  4  lines  7s, 

For  a  general  blessing. 

LORD,  we  come  before  thee  now, 
At  thy  feet  we  humbly  bow : 
0,  do  not  our  suit  disdain ; 
Shall  we  seek  thee,  Lord,  in  vain? 

2  Lord,  on  thee  our  souls  depend ; 
In  compassion  now  descend ; 

Fill  our  hearts  with  thy  rich  grace, 
Tune  our  lips  to  sing  thy  praise. 

3  Comfort  those  who  weep  and  mourn ; 
Let  the  time  of  joy  return ; 

Those  that  are  cast  down  lift  up ; 
Make  them  strong  in  faith  and  hope. 

4  Grant  that  all  may  seek  and  find 
Thee,  a  gracious  God  and  kind: 
Heal  the  sick,  the  captive  free ; 
Let«s  all  rejoice  in  thee. 


12  PRAYER.

S.  M. 


The  hearer  of  prayer. 

YE  praying  souls,  rejoice, 
And  bless  your  Father's  Name  ; 
"With  joy  to  hini  lift  up  your  voice, 
And  all  his  love  proclaim. 

2  Your  mournful  cry  he  hears  ; 
He  marks  your  feeblest  groan, 

Supplies  your  wants,  dispels  your  fears, 
And  makes  bis  mercy  known. 

3  To  all  his  praying  saints 
lie  ever  will  attend, 

And  to  their  sorrows  and  complaints 
His  ear  in  mercy  bend. 

4  Then  let  us  still  go  on 
In  his  appointed  ways, 

Rejoicing  in  his  Name  alone, 
In  prayer  and  humble  praise. 

12  CM. 

For  quickening  power. 

COME,  Holy  Spirit,  heavenly  Dove, 
With  all  thy  quick'ning  powers ; 
Kindle  a  flame  of  sacred  love 
In  these  cold  hearts  of  ours. 

2  Look  how  we  grovel  here  below, 
Fond  of  these  earthly  toys ; 

Our  souls,  how  heavily  they  go 
To  reach  eternal  joys. 

3  Father,  and  sball  we  ever  live 
At  this  poor  dying  rate ; 

Our  love  so  faint,  so  cold  to  thee. 
And  thine  to  us  so  great  ? 


PEAYEE.  13 

4  Come,  Holy  Spirit,  heavenly  Dove, 
With  all  thy  quick'ning  powers ; 

Come,  shed  abroad  a  Saviour's  love, 
And  that  shall  kindle  ours. 

13  C.  M. 

What  is  prayer  P 

PEAYEE  is  the  soul's  sincere  desire, 
Utter' d  or  unexpress'd; 
The  motion  of  a  hidden  fire 
That  trembles  in  the  breast. 

2  Prayer  is  the  burden  of  a  sigh, — 

The  falling  of  a  tear, — 
The  upward  glancing  of  an  eye, 

When  none  but  God  is  near. 

8  Prayer  is  the  simplest  form  of  speech 

That  infant  lips  can  try ; 
Prayer,  the  sublimest  strains  that  reach 

The  Majesty  on  high. 

4  Prayer  is  the  Christian's  vital  breath, 

The  Christian's  native  air; 
His  watchword  at  the  gates  of  death, — 

He  enters  heaven  with  prayer. 

5"  Prayer  is  the  contrite  sinner's  voice, 

Eeturning  from  his  ways  ; 
While  angels,  in  their  songs,  rejoice, 

And  cry, — Behold,  he  prays  ! 

6  O  Thou,  by  whom  we  come  to  God, — 
The  Life,  the  Truth,  the  Way,— 

The  path  of  prayer  thyself  hast  trod : — 
Lord,  teach  us  how  to  pray ! 


14  PRAYER. 

14  4  lines  7s. 

Encouragements  to  pray. 

COME,  my  soul,  thy  suit  prepare ; 
Jesus  loves  to  answer  prayer ; 
He  himself  invites  thee  near. — 
Bids  thee  ask  him,  waits  to  hear. 

2  Lord,  I  come  to  thee  for  rest ; 
Take  possession  of  my  breast ; 
There,  thy  blood-bought  right  maintain, 
And  without  a  rival  reign. 

3  While  I  am  a  pilgrim  here, 
Let  thy  love  my  spirit  cheer ; 
As  my  guide,  my  guard,  my  friend, 
Lead  me  to  my  journey's  end. 

4  Show  me  what  I  have  to  do; 
Every  hour  my  strength  renew ; 
Let  me  live  a  life  of  faith, — 
Let  me  die  thy  people's  death. 

15  s.  M. 

Claiming  the  promise. 

JESUS,  we  look  to  thee, 
Thv  promised  presence  claim ; 
Thou  in  the  midst  of  us  shalt  be, 
Assembled  in  thy  name : 

2  Thy  name  salvation  is, 
Which  here  we  come  to  prove : 

Thy  name  is  life,  and  health,  and  peace, 
And  everlasting  love. 

3  Present  we  know  thou  art, 
But  0,  thyself  reveal ! 

Now,  Lord,  let  every  bounding  heart 
The  mighty  comfort  feel. 


0 


PRAYER.  15 

4  0  may  thy  quick'ning  voice 
The  death  of  sin  remove ; 

And  hid  our  inmost  souls  rejoice, 
In  hope  of  perfect  love. 

16  s.  M. 

For  a  revival. 

LOED,  thy  work  revive, 
In  Zion's  gloomy  hour, 
And  let  our  dying  graces  live 
By  thy  restoring  power. 

2  0  let  thy  chosen  few 
Awake  to  earnest  prayer ; 

Their  covenant  again  renew, 
And  walk  in  filial  fear. 

3  Thy  Spirit  then  will  speak 
Through  lips  of  humble  clay, 

Till  hearts  of  adamant  shall  break, — 
Till  rebels  shall  obey. 

4  Now  lend  thy  gracious  ear ; 
Now  listen  to  our  cry ; 

0  come,  and  bring  salvation  near ; 
Our  souls  on  thee  rely. 

17  L.  M. 

Sweet  hour  of  prayer. 

SWEET  hour  of  prayer,   sweet  hour  of 
prayer, 
That  calls  me  from  a  world  of  care, 
And  bids  me  at  my  Father's  throne 
Make  all  my  wants  and  wishes  known : 
In  seasons  of  distress  and  grief 
My  soul  has  often  found  relief, 
And  oft  escaped  the  tempter's  snare 
By  thy  return,  sweet  hour  of  prayer. 


16  AWAKENING. 

2  Sweet  hour  of  prayer,  sweet  hour  of  prayer. 

May  I  thy  consolations  share, 

Till  from  Mount  Pisgah's  lofty  height 

I  view  my  home  and  take  my  flight : 

This  rohe  of  flesh  I'll  drop,  and  rise 

To  seize  the  everlasting  prize, 

And  shout,  while  passing  through  the  air, 

Farewell,  farewell,  sweet  hour  of  prayer. 


AWAKENING. 
18  s-  M« 

The  horrors  of  the  second  death. 

0  WHERE  shall  rest  he  found,— 
Eest  for  the  weary  soul  ? 
'Twere  vain  the  ocean's  depths  to  sound, 
Or  pierce  to  either  pole. 

2  The  world  can  never  give 
The  bliss  for  which  we  sigh  ; 

'Tis  not  the  whole  of  life  to" live, 
Nor  all  of  death  to  die. 

3  Beyond  this  vale  of  tears 
There  is  a  life  above 

Unmeasured  by  the  flight  of  years ; 
And  all  that  life  is  love. 

4  There  is  a  death,  whose  pang 
Outlasts  the  fleeting  breath: 

O  what  eternal  horrors  hang 
Around  the  second  death  1 


AWAKENING.  17 

5  Thou  God  of  truth  and  grace ! 

Teach  us  that  death  to  shun ; 
Lest  we  be  banish' d  from  thy  face, 

For  evermore  undone. 

19  C.  M. 

The  dreadful  sentence. 

rpHAT  awful  day  will  surely  come, 
X   The'  appointed  hour  makes  haste, 
When  I  must  stand  before  my  Judge, 
And  pass  the  solemn  test. 

2  Jesus,  thou  source  of  all  my  joys, 
Thou  ruler  of  my  heart, 

How  could  I  bear  to  hear  thy  voice 
Pronounce  the  word, — Depart ! 

3  What,  to  be  banish' d  from  my  Lord, 
And  yet  forbid  to  die ; 

To  linger  in  eternal  pain, 
And  death  forever  fly ! — 

4  0  wretched  state  of  deep  despair, 
To  see  my  God  remove, 

And  fix  my  doleful  station  where 

I  must  not  taste  his  love. 

The  judgment  day  is  rolling  on, 

The  judgment  day  is  rolling  on, 

The  judgment  day  is  rolling  on, 

Prepare  to  meet  thy  God. 

20  4  lines  7s. 

The  danger  of  delay. 

HASTEN,  sinner,  to  be  wise  ! 
Stay  not  for  the  morrow's  sun : 
Wisdom  if  you  still  despise, 
Harder  is  it  to  be  won, 
2 


18  AWAKENING. 

2  Hasten,  mercy  to  implore  ! 
Stay  not  for  the  morrow's  sun, 

Lest  thv  season  should  be  o'er 
Ere  this  evening's  stage  be  run. 

3  Hasten,  sinner,  to  return! 
Stay  not  for  the  morrow's  sun, 

Lest  thy  lamp  should  fail  to  burn 
Ere  salvation's  work  is  done. 

4  Hasten,  sinner,  to  be  blest ! 
Stay  not  for  the  morrow's  sun, 

Lest  perdition  thee  arrest 
Ere  the  morrow  is  begun. 

21  886,886. 

The  momentous  question. 

AND  am  I  only  born  to  die? 
And  must  I  suddenly  comply 
With  nature's  stern  decree? 
What  after  death  for  me  remains? 
Celestial  joys,  or  hellish  pains, 
To  all  eternity. 

2  How  then  ought  I  on  earth  to  live, 
While  God  prolongs  the  kind  reprieve, 

And  props  the  house  of  clay  ? 
My  sole  concern,  my  single  care, 
To  watch,  and  tremble,  and  prepare 

Against  that  fatal  day. 

3  Nothing  is  worth  a  thought  beneath, 
But  how  I  may  escape  the  death 

That  never,  never  dies  ! 
How  make  mine  own  election  sure ; 
And  when  I  fail  on  earth,  secure 

A  mansion  in  the  skies. 


INVITATION.  19 

4  Jesus,  vouchsafe  a  pitying  ray ; 
Be  thou  my  Guide,  be  thou  my  Way 

To  glorious  happiness. 
Ah  !  write  the  pardon  on  my  heart ; 
And  whensoe'er  I  hence  depart, 

Let  me  depart  in  peace. 


INVITATION. 

22  87,  87,  47. 

The  invitation. 

COME,  ye  sinners,  poor  and  needy, 
Weak  and  wounded,  sick  and  sore  ; 
Jesus  ready  stands  to  save  you, 
Full  of  pity,  love,  and  power : 

He  is  able, 
He  is  willing :  doubt  no  more. 

2  Let  not  conscience  make  you  linger ; 

Nor  of  fitness  fondly  dream : 
All  the  fitness  he  requireth 

Is  to  feel  your  need  of  him : 
This  he  gives  you,— 

'Tis  the  Spirit's  glimm'ring  beam. 

8  Come,  ye  weary,  heavy-laden, 
Bruised  and  mangled  by  the  fall ; 

If  you  tarry  till  you're  better, 
You  will  never  come  at  all ; 

Not  the  righteous, — 
Sinners  Jesus  came  to  call. 


20  INVITATION. 

4  Agonizing  in  the  garden, 
Your  Redeemer  prostrate  lies ; 

On  the  bloody  tree  behold  him ! 
Hear  him  cry,  before  he  dies, 
It  is  finished  ! — 

Sinners,  will  not  this  suffice? 


23 


The  gospel  feast. 


COME,  sinners,  to  the  gospel  feast ; 
Let  every  soul  be  Jesus'  guest : 
Ye  need  not  one  be  left  behind, 
For  God  hath  bidden  all  mankind. 

2  Sent  by  my  Lord,  on  you  I  call ; 
The  invitation  is  to  all  :— 

Come  all  the  world  !  come,  sinner,  thou  ! 
All  things  in  Christ  are  ready  now. 

3  Come,  all  ye  souls  by  sin  oppress'd, 
Ye  restless  wand'rers  after  rest ; 

Ye  poor,  and  maim'd,  and  halt,  and  blind, 
In  Christ  a  hearty  welcome  find. 

4  See  him  set  forth  before  your  eyes, 
That  precious,  bleeding  sacrifice :

Thy  will  be  done. 


MY  God,  my  Father,  while  T  stray 
Far  from  my  home,  on  life's  rough  way , 
0 !  teach  me  from  my  heart  to  say, 
"  Thy  will  be  done."" 

2  If  Thou  should'st  call  me  to  resign 
What  most  I  prize, — it  ne'er  was  mine  ; 
I  only  yield  Thee  what  was  thine ; — 

"  Thy  will  be  done." 

3  E'en  if  again  I  ne'er  should  see 
The  friend  more  dear  than  life  to  me, 
Ere  long  we  both  shall  be  with  Thee ; — 

"Thy  will  be  done." 

4  Should  pining  sickness  waste  away 
My  life  in  premature  decay, 

My  Father,  still  I  strive  to  say, 
"  Thy  will  be  done." 

5  If  but  my  fainting  heart  be  blest 
With  Thy  sweet  Spirit  for  its  guest, 
My  God,  to  thee  1  leave  the  rest, — 

"  Thy  will  be  done." 

8  Eenew  my  will  from  day  to  day, 
Blend  it  with  Thine,  and  take  away 
All  that  now  makes  it  hard  to  sav, 
"  Thy  will  be  done."* 

1  Then  when  on  earth  I  breathe  no  more 
The  prayer  oft  mixed  with  tears  before, 
I'll  sing  upon  a  happier  shore, 

"  Thy  will  be  done."

GUIDE  me,  0  thou  great  Jehovah, 
Pilgrim  through  this  barren  land : 

1  am  weak,  but  thou  art  mighty ; 
Hold  me  with  thy  powerful  hand ; 

Bread  of  heaven, 
Feed  me  till  I  want  no  more. 

2  When  I  tread  the  verge  of  Jordan, 
Bid  my  anxious  fears  subside : 

Bear  me  through  the  swelling  current ; 
Land  me  safe  on  Canaan's  side : 

Songs  of  praises 
I  will  ever  give  to  thee.

Dying,  rising,  reigning. 

HE  dies !  the  Friend  of  sinners  dies ! 
Lo  1  Salem's  daughters  weep  around; 
A  solemn  darkness  vails  the  skies, 

A  sudden  trembling  shakes  the  ground : 
Come,  saints,  and  drop  a  tear  or  two 

For  him  who  groan'd  beneath  your  load; 
He  shed  a  thousand  drops  for  you, — 
A  thousand  drops  of  richer  blood. 

2  Here's  love  and  grief  beyond  degree: 
The  Lord  of  glory  dies  for  man ! 

But  lo  !  what  sudden  joys  we  see  ! 

Jesus,  the  dead,  revives  again. 
The  rising  God  forsakes  the^tomb ; 

(In  vain  the  tomb  forbids  his  rise :) 
Cherubic  legions  guard  him  home, 

And  shout  him  welcome  to  the  skies. 

3  Break  off  your  tears,  ye  saints,  and  tell 
How  high  your  great  TJeliv'rer  reigns; 

Sing  how  Tie  spoil' d  the  hosts  of  hell, 
And  led  the  monster  death  in  chains : 

Say,  Live  forever,  wondrous  King  1 
Born  to  redeem,  and  strong  to  save; 

Then  ask  the  monster,  "Where's  thy  sting? 
And,  Where's  thy  victory,  boasting  grave?

Ashamed  of  Jesus. 

JESUS,  and  shall  it  ever  be, 
A  mortal  man  ashamed  of  thee  !_ 
Ashamed  of  thee,  whom  angels  praise, — 
Whose  glories  shine  through  endless  days 


CHRISTIAN   LIFE.  71 

2  Ashamed  of  Jesus ! — that  clear  Friend 
On  whom  my  hopes  of  heaven  depend ! 
No ! — when  I  blush,  be  this  my  shame — 
That  I  no  more  revere  his  Name. 

S  Ashamed  of  Jesus  ! — yes,  I  may, 
When  I've  no  guilt  to  wash  away  ; 
No  tear  to  wipe,  no  good  to  crave, 
No  fears  to  quell,  no'soul  to  save. 

4  Till  then — nor  is  my  boasting  vain — 
Till  then,  I  boast  a  Saviour  slain ; 
And  0,  may  this  my  glory  be — 
That  Christ  is  hot  ashamed  of  me.

Excellence  of  Christ. 

0  COULD  I  speak  the  matchless  worth, 
O  could  I  sound  the  glories  forth, 
Which  in  my  Saviour  shine  ; 
I'd  soar  and  touch  the  heavenly  strings, 
And  vie  with  Gabriel  while  he  sings 
In  notes  almost  divine. 

2  I'd  sing  the  precious  blood  he  spilt, 
My  ransom  from  the  dreadful  guilt 

Of  sin  and  wrath  divine ; 
I'd  sing  his  glorious  righteousness, 
In  which  all-perfect,  heavenly  dress 

My  soul  shall  ever  shine. 

S  Soon  the  delightful  morn  will  come 
When  my  dear  Lord  will  bring  me  home, 

And  I  shall  see  his  face : 
Then  with  my  Saviour,  Brother,  Friend, 
A  bless' d  eternity  I'll  spend, 

Triumphant  kThis  grace.

And  cast  a  wishful  eye 
To  Canaan's  fair  and  happy  land, 
Where  my  possessions  lie.

Can  reach  that  healthtul  shore ; 

Sickness  and  sorrow,  pain  and  death, 
Are  felt  and  fear'd  no  more.

And  be  forever  blest  ? 

When  shall  I  see  my  Father's  face, 
And  in  his  bosom  restl

And  fiery  darts  be  hurl'd, 

Then  I  can  smile  at  Satan's  rage, 
And  face  a  frowning  world.

Let  storms  of  sorrow  fall, — 

So  I  but  safely  reach  my  home, 
My  God,  my  heaven,  my  all.

In  seas  of  heavenly  rest, 

And  not  a  wave  of  trouble  roll

To  conquer  though  I  die,

On  wings  of  love  I'll  fly ; 

Farewell  to  sin  and  sorrow, 
I  bid  you  all  adieu ; 

And  you,  my  friends,  prove  faithful 
And  on  your  w*y  pursue. 

3  And  if  you  meet  with  trials, 
And  troubles  on  your  way, 

Cast  all  your  care  on  Jesus, 
And  don't  forget  to  pray ; 

Gird  on  the  heavenly  armor 
Of  faith,  and  hope,  and  love, 

And  when  your  race  is  ended, 
You'll  reign  with  him  above. 

4  0  do  not  be  discouraged, 
For  Jesus  is  your  friend, 

And  if  you  lack  for  knowledge, 
He'll  not  refuse  to  lend ; 

Neither  will  he  upbraid  you, 
Though  ofttimes  you  request; 

He'll  give  you  grace  to  conquer, 
And  take  you  home  to  rest.

HOW  happy  is  the  pilgrim's  lot ; 
How  free  from  every  anxious  thought, 
From  worldly  hope  and  fear ! 
Confined  to  neither  court  nor  cell, 
His  soul  disdains  on  earth  to  dwell, 
He  only  sojourns  here. 

2  This  happiness  in  part  is  mine, 
Already  saved  from  low  design, 

From  every  creature  love ; 
Blest  with  the  scorn  of  finite  good, 
My  soul  is  lighten' d  of  its  load, 

And  seeks  the  things  above.

And  angels  beckon  me  away, 

And  Jesus  bids  me  come.

Each  land-mark  on  the  distant  shore, 
The  tree  of  life,  the  pastures  green, 
The  pearly  gates,  the  crystal  stream ;

And  loud  her  lovely  sonnet  sings,

Where  death  triumphant  reigns, 
For  a  beautiful  home  in  the  land  of  bliss, 
Where  all  is  happiness,  joy,  and  peace, 

And  nothing  can  enter  that  pains. 
There'll  be  no  sorrow,  no  more  night, 

For  the  darkness  shall  flee  away ; 
The  crucified  Lamb  is  its  glorious  light, 
And  the  saints  shall  walk  with  him  in  white 

In  that  eternal  day.

And  all  shall  worship  at  Jesus'  feet, 

And  no  separation  shall  fear. 
Though  trials  and  griefs  await  us  here, 

Our  conflicts  will  soon  be  o'er; 
This  glorious  hope  our  hearts  will  cheer;

They  found  me  nigh  to  death, 
Famish' d,  and  faint,  and  lone ; 

They  bound  me  with  the  bands  of  love, 
They  saved  the  wand'ring  one. 

3  Jesus  my  Shepherd  is, 
'Twas  he  that  loved  my  soul; 

'T  was  he  that  wash'd  me  in  his  blood ; 

'Twas  he  that  made  me  whole; 
No  more  a  wand'ring  sheep, 

I  love  to  be  controll'd; 
I  love  my  tender  Shepherd's  voice, 

I  love  the  peaceful  fold.
